Lot Notes Pieter Nason was one of the leading portraitists in Holland inthe mid- 17th century. His modern style reflected a synthesis ofthe influences of Sir Anthony van Dyck and Gerrit Honthorst,comparable to Adriaen Hanneman. Like Hanneman, he found employmentamong the visiting English court in exile, making at least oneportrait of Charles II which was engraved several times in the1660s; and two portraits of royalist courtiers (National PortraitGallery, London, NPG 4978 and 5235).
